NCT ID NCT05842434
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study tested a wrist-worn device called Felix that delivers gentle electrical stimulation to suppress hand tremors. The device uses artificial intelligence to adjust stimulation in real time based on each person's tremor. 38 adults with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease wore the device daily to see if it safely reduces shaking. The study measured tremor severity using standard rating scales.

Active substance
Felix NeuroAI Wristband (noninvasive neurostimulation device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a noninvasive, daily-use option to reduce hand tremors without medication or surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study with no control group, so results may not be conclusive. The device may not work for everyone or could cause skin irritation.
